Supermarket Secrets Revealed

Posted By Dr. Mercola | February 24 2007 | 4,135 views

How can your corner supermarket afford to keep lowering their prices?

The interesting British documentary argues, rightly, that growers and farmers are pressured by the supermarket system into making serious short cuts through chemistry or biological intervention -- and these shortcuts have made our food supply less nutritious and safe than ever before.

You'll also get a "bird's eye" view of factory farming from the perspective of chickens, how they're prepared for market and the tell-tale signs of mistreatment and filth on their bodies after they arrive in your grocery store.


 

Dr. Mercola's Comments:

If you wondered why cloned and genetically modified foods are making their way into the consumer food chain with relative ease, this film explains it in light of the monolithic rise of the supermarket.

If you're at all on the fence about the business practices of the large superstores -- some of which border on the frightening -- you also might want to take a look at the documentary Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price.

All the more reason to seek out local sources of wholesome, healthy foods that support the environment and your community.

As Dorothy from Orlando, Florida says on Vital Votes:

"At my home my husband and I use only organic products.  Whenever friends come over and eat something from our kitchen, they always surprised at how great the meat/juice/whatever it is they're eating tastes. 

"Even the super stubborn who don't believe that organic is better, end up admitting that the organic products we use do taste better than the conventional ones."
